Well done. Now you have done it, we will all have to have a milling machine.
You would have to wonder why GM would cast a entirely different water pump.
.....yes my 6.5 is a natural , 2wd reg cab , not even a trailer hitch ! , so cooling is never a problem. I'm sure it will be fine. I was just surprised that the pump 6.2 hub has a dual pattern but the 6.5 is just a hair smaller. I parted out a few 6.2's but never a 6.5 so that's why I had the pump in stock.

Today not sure what it is like to order a new vehicle, I doubt very much I will ever be able to do that again or have the desire for new technology. But back then yeah I think a guy had more options as to what he wanted or didn't want. In '79 we bought another new black 1/2 ton, Sierra Classic top of the line, didn't want a radio so dealer just stroked it off the list and it came with a delete plate. I would guess 2day options are packaged, and you have to take what they give you ??
oh wow ddgermann, that is a long drive from Edmonton to work for you .......... can you get me a job there ? , looks easy just sit around and push buttons and watch tv , can a guy throw a line over the side and fish to ?
......well I was hoping others would add to this thread What they did 2day but looks like eveyone is retired or just out driving there Corvettes !!
